"An excellent resource for those diagnosed with BPD and those associated with someone with BPD. The book methodically introduces BPD and clearly emphasizes there is hope for all involved. Most importantly, each chapter provides a summary at the end that serves as a quick reference guide. Although professional treatment is identified in the book, it also gives practical things that can be done to help learn how to overcome the harmful effects of BPD. I highly recommend this new fresh perspective to anyone wanting to know more about what is BPD and how to overcome it. B. Yahne Dec 2022 One of the best I've found and I'll tell you why Mother of a BPD teen and unless you know it, live it..you don't get it. We live in a state of hypervigilance waiting and develop quickly from acute stress disorder to PTSD with repeated exposure. This book is fantastic for a few reasons. It breaks down the types of BPD and applies it to real-case scenarios. There are connections to films and how BPD is portrayed and true windows into the BPD mind. But the main reason is that all of this is written and presented in an engaging and easy-to-read way. It doesn't feel like some doctor spouting off clinical verbiage. It doesn't place blame or a one size fits all ""remedy."" You don't zone off thinking about dinner etc. I don't want to say it's a lighthearted read (which sounds ridiculous due to the subject content, ) it's more of the feel that the author is talking with you rather than at you if that makes sense. AE Dec 2022 Easy to read, excellent primer As the parent of an adult child with BPD, I've spent the last year trying to learn about the disorder. This is the third book that I've read and I appreciated that this one is written for both parties. It is well organized with an extensive ""Contents"" section that makes a nice reference. I found it to be an easy read without confusing jargon. Chapters 1-8 are for the person with BPD. Each chapter has things the person with BPD can do right away to start to feel better. They contain helpful information that loved ones will want to make themselves familiar with also. Chapters 9 and 10 are from the loved ones perspective and also provide specific, usable recommendations. I would definitely read this if you have any interest in BPD, it makes an excellent primer. T. Shogren Dec 2022 This may be the only book you need on borderline personality disorder. This book has a fresh approach in explaining this personality disorder in a user-friendly manner. I learned more about this disorder that is helpful to the person living with it as well as for their loved ones. The analogies and examples were concrete and painted an accurate picture. I would recommend it to anyone who needs more information on this disorder. I will reference it and return to it as a resource. N.
